MELTDOWN

CIA agent Walker (code name Phoenix) is heading her first Special-Ops mission. Task Force Valor is seeking the source of a liquid explosive believed to be stockpiled and distilled in the Chernobyl area. After spending more time in that wasted dead zone than they want, they discover the explosive is gone. It's been moved and possibly shipped to the US. Their suspicions are confirmed when reports of explosions across the country reach them: an internet exchange outage in the Silicon Valley, a train derailment and the Hoover Dam among the list of successfully hit targets.

Meanwhile, retired Colonel Michael Lafontaine has begun a campaign to discredit the weaknesses in homeland security. He starts with a press conference urging a new commitment to the war on terror and calling upon politicians to have a backbone when dealing with terrorists.

MELTDOWN switches from Task Force Valor and their undercover operation in the Ukraine to the terrorist activities happening in the US. This is action-packed book is filled with mystery, fun, and faith all rolled into one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel by Chuck Holton.

Offered in paperback by Multnomah.
